You and me bothhh

Why not focus on the fun parts of drawing?

Why do you think that is?

It’s good advice!!

The way you get good at drawing is by drawing everything and anything and doing it a lot

Artists are just obsessively curious

Image shows three digital sketches of an eye on a face. Each slightly different from the last as I drew through the study phases. In the top left is the eye reference image I was basing my study sketches from.

Little study I completed as part of @sylessae.bsky.social 's portrait course 💜

I actually really love this particular study method and cannot wait to use it more in future!

Thank you all for the love on Rommath! I'm taking a break from spamming you with elves to work on Zul'jan for this week's assignment. 🫡

(These portraits are for @sylessae.bsky.social 's 8-week portrait bootcamp which I did last year and am running through a second time this year with a WoW theme!)

I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

3 slots mentorship slots available! ✨

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

Throwback to something worth repeating.

A painting of a pink fantasy girl with flowing hair and a flowing dress, suspended in what looks like the dark depths of ocean water.

My mentorships are open again for the first time since last year.

I'm expanding to work with all types of creatives, not just artists, to explore things like impostor syndrome, comparison, perfectionism and more.

Only 3 slots left 👉 ko-fi.com/sylessae/tiers

A drawing of a fantasy woman with long, flowing hair. Her soft colors of pink and teal are contrasted by dark demon horns and devilish wings. Her body is faced away, but her face is turned toward the viewer, looking downwards.

Your wings only atrophy when you don't use them.

Fly.

A sketchbook page with two ink portraits of young women. One appears curious or surprised, while the other looks tired with a messy bun. Next to the drawing is a pink pen.

Scribbles and smudges

The more I work with creatives the more I see that art is really a buffer.

It's a safe space to explore emotions that feel off limits. A gentle doorway into what holds you back from anything you truly want.

When that barrier falls, art becomes a catalyst for change.

See you all tomorrow at Zenkaikon!

You can find me at booth P3 ✨ 👀

A digitally painted portrait of a handsome black man on an orange and blue background.

Some people have comfort characters… I guess Idrissou from @trueref.bsky.social is my comfort model 😅 I just keep coming back to draw him again.

Lovely Bluesky... I have a need of a 4x6 (can be slightly off) print to go with these lovely ladies I got from @sylessae.bsky.social - have a favourite artist that sells prints? Think I might enjoy their work? Let me know in comments please <3
